witty humorous brain
You rely too much on brain. The brain is the most overrated organ.
witty humorous heart
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.
real writing ideas
In the shower, with the hot water coming down, you've left the real world behind, and very frequently things open up for you. It's the change of venue, the unblocking the attempt to force the ideas that's crippling you when you're trying to write.
genius fields six
I know of only six genuine comic geniuses in movie history; Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Groucho Marx & Harpo Marx, Peter Sellers, and W.C. Fields.
believe winning competition
I don't believe in competition for artistic things. I just like the atmosphere of the Cannes festival. I don't want to win anything or lose anything.
sex fun golf
Sex is the most fun you can have without laughing.
witty food oysters
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.
mother children middle-child
My mother never had time for me. When you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.
powerful things-in-life luck
Talent is luck. The important thing in life is courage.
fun writing years
I never have an alter ego in the movies. That's a fiction that the press has made up over the years, and it's fun to write that. It gives them something to write.
years careers able
I can make films. And some of them come out good, and some of them come out better, and some of them come out worse. But I've been very lucky over the years to be able to sustain the length of career that I've had.
funny marriage lying
The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.
punishment would-be death-penalty
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
witty humorous greatness
The only thing standing between me and greatness is me.
